The Board of trade of San Jose,
California, has recently appropriated
money to subscribe for five hundred
copies of their local newspaper for a
year, which they think is one of the
best ways of advertising their city
abroad. They even did not ask the
publishes to reduce its subscription
price to them for that number of
papers and when they have any
printing to do they take it to the
paper which does the people the most
good.-Logan County, Colo, Adj

IanRr,

The booming bounding city of
eastern Colorado is still simply as
tonisbing the world with the rapid
strides she is making and the bust
ness she is doing not only with the
country adjacent, but for hundreds
of miles south in Texas, the Neutral
Strip and New Mexico, even, while
everything north within the natural
territory is Supplied. Lamars
growth has been phenomenal and
the people who have built the town
are the very pick of the typical
westerner whose fame as rustlers
and state builders are legion.
The internal improvements are as
thorough as they are surprising.
Main street and the business portion
of the town, ON other streets, on
both sides of the railroad, presents
one of the most noteworthy pictures
one could well find. Business
houses are going up daily while
those that have been completed and
established ar so crowded for room
that goods are often left unpacked
until demand is made for them,
while feed, hay, grain and the like,
is moro often loaded directly on
wagons which are waiting to receive
loads directly from the car than 9TH
erwise Lumber is in such demand
that wagons from all parts of the
country are awaiting the arrival of
certain specialties expected by
freight trains, while dimension and
other ordinary and necessary lumber
is often waited for.
Main street.-The full length, and
four streets west are being graded
by that peculiar ditching machine
described in former letter. The
work was, to an extent, experimental
but proves so effectual that it is likely
the balance of the business streets
will be graded in like manner.

Bishop Warren, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, does not believe
in gentle preaching to rich sinners.
He says there are some pastors who
go at it in this style: "Brethren,
you must repent, as it were; and be
converted, in measure; or you will
be damned, to some extent."-Wash-

About Framing Pictures.

Why should the New Haven public get
their pictures framed at Cutters Art Stores
Because it is for their interest 80 to do
What reasons are there for supposing that
is the case?
Many and weighty
Firstly-Mr. Cutler has larger stock of
mouldings, a greater variety and of finer
quality than any other house in the State
Secondly-He has for twenty-four years
made diligent study of the best methods OF
framing, has himself originated many of the
improvements that have been adopted by
the best trainers in the country and is always
on the alert to see and adopt any improve,
ments originated by others, and his long and
active experience makes him quick to detect
the difference between real and seeming i'm
provements.
Thirdly-His treatment of pictures is such
as to preserve them and keep them safe from
the injuries that arise from improper treat
ment by the Trainer.
Fourthly-His workmen are skilIful and
conscientious. able to make the best use OF
the ample resources of his shops, and his
gilders are able to do the finest work in
gold, silver and bronze.
Lastly-And this is a point of Importance;
it is confidently believed that Mr. Cutler
furnishes most excellent work OF prices as
low as are paid in many places for greatly
inferior work
Those who wish pictures framed before
Christmas will do well to order early.

A NOCrURNAL sTRANcRR

The Precinct Police On the LOokout
For Him In Fair Haven and On
William and Lyon Streets.
The precinct police have been on the look
out for several weeks past for a nocturnal
stranger who has been paying visits to Will
liam and Lyon streets. He is described by
some belated pedestrians who claim to have
seen him as ghostly looking object. One
night some time ago the inmates of the house
SO Lyon street were alarmed by q tapping
on the blinds about the house. An officer
was notified, but when he arrived the unwel-
come visitor could nowhere be found.
COURIER reporter learned last night that the
stranger had not been seen at No. 80 of late,
but others have. The people of the vicinity
stay awake nights with clubs ready to fall on
almost anybody, but they say they are sure
to catch the culprit.
1t is said by the police that this same per-
Haven families by opening the blinds and
amusement is on Grand Avenue between
Blatchley avenue and Lloyd street, and
among those he visits most often is q clerk
in DIM. WEIGH & Sons branch grocery store
in Fair Haven, who resides in that vicinity
He is afraid he is a burglar. The police,
however, have different opinion of the
case. They think that the person is none
other than Fair Ravens chronic frightener,
who seems to take delight in soaring the en-
ployes of the pie shop and the young ladies
who make Ferry street promenade during
the summer.
